After looking down on Georgie, Sheldon put his hands on his chest, struck another pose, and looked at his family with anticipation.
Then, when he saw that everyone looked confused, Sheldon shook his head in disappointment. Then, he specifically looked at Mike and asked, "Mike, do you know who I'm dressed up as today?"
"It's Carl Sagan!" Mike said.
"Congratulations! That's absolutely correct!" Sheldon cheered happily, then sat down at the dining table with satisfaction.
"Carl Sagan? Who is that?" Georgie asked curiously.
"The host of the 'Planet' program." Mike casually explained. However, when he saw Georgie still looking confused, he thought for a moment and continued, "Carl Sagan is a very knowledgeable person, and he has made great achievements in humanities, geography, environment, and other disciplines."
Well, even though Mike explained more about Carl Sagan, Georgie still looked confused.
It was indeed a bit difficult for Georgie, a slow learner, to understand an academic expert.
On the other hand, Sheldon was very satisfied with Mike's answer. He interjected, "Carl Sagan is a great man, and he is my idol now."
Ever since Paige looked down on Professor Proton from the science program last time, Sheldon had found a new television idol for himself.
And Carl Sagan from the 'Planet' program, being both young and knowledgeable, just met Sheldon's requirements.
"Isn't Hawking your idol?" Georgie asked again in surprise.
"You can have many idols. Although Carl Sagan is not as good as Stephen Hawking in my heart, Carl can barely be my idol in terms of his knowledge," Sheldon said proudly.
"That works too?" Georgie was already confused by Sheldon, scratching his head comically, as if his brain was about to grow.
In fact, it was already very difficult for Georgie to remember a scientific celebrity like Hawking.
"Alright, let's eat. We still have a lot of things waiting for us." Mary glared at her mischievous eldest son, then urged them impatiently.
As the planner of the church's Halloween event, Mary was under a lot of pressure now.
Just as the family was about to finish dinner, there was a knock on the door.
Mike, who was closest to the door, went to open it.
"Trick or treat!!!" x3
Three children in strange costumes happily shouted at the door.
Well, Tam wasn't really a child.
"You're the 'Flower Fairy'." Mike said to the Cooper family's neighbor, the little girl Bobbi.
Today, Bobbi was wearing a pink dress with small wings, a sparkling antennae hair clip on her head, and a flower-shaped lantern in her hand.
Her cute and distinctive costume made it easy to guess the character she was playing.
"I'm the Flower Fairy!" Bobbi said, happy that her character had been guessed, and performed a curtsy.
In fact, on Halloween, being recognized for the character you're playing is a great affirmation.
"You're 'Superman'." Mike then said to the neighbor's child, Billy.
With his blue and red tights, underwear worn on the outside, and a cool cape behind him, Billy's character was also easy to guess.
"I'm Superman." Billy smiled, then put one hand across his chest and raised a fist with the other, performing the classic Superman flying pose, "flying" in a circle on the spot.
Although chubby Billy was not very suitable for tights, he looked very energetic now.
"You are…" Mike looked at Tam, who was at the very side, thought for a moment and asked, "Gandalf the Gray? Or Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Tam was wearing a black robe with a wide-brimmed wizard hat today, with a long white beard pasted on his face, and holding a small stick in his hand.
Mike really couldn't tell who he was playing with this mixed-style costume.
"I wanted to play Gandalf the White, but I couldn't find a suitable white wizard robe and a long staff…" Tam said awkwardly.
"Alright, your white beard actually looks a lot like Gandalf's," Mike complimented him to be polite.
"Candy…candy…"
At this moment, Billy and his sister, whose "identities" had been guessed, started to get rowdy.
Just as Mike was in a difficult situation, Mary walked over. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't prepare any candy today. How about pumpkin pie?"
Saying that, Mary handed the few pieces of pumpkin pie she was holding to the three people outside the door.
After receiving the gifts, Billy and his sister quieted down.
In fact, on Halloween, when children knock on the door, you don't necessarily have to give them candy; small snacks, small toys, or souvenirs can also satisfy their requests.
"I'm not here for gifts, is Sheldon home?" Tam asked cautiously.
The reason he came to the Cooper family today was because he had arranged it with Sheldon in advance.
"Sheldon is eating. Why don't you come in and wait for a while? You can also try the apple pie I made," Mary invited. She had a good impression of Tam, this honest child.
"No, I can wait at the door for a while." Tam, on the other hand, was still a little afraid of Mary because of the board game last time.
Sheldon, who was at the dining table, had already noticed Tam's arrival. To avoid making him wait too long, he quickly stuffed the apple pie from the plate in front of him into his mouth, then came to the door.
"I'm done eating…" Because there was still food in his mouth, Sheldon said indistinctly, "We can go now."
After speaking, Sheldon joined the group of Billy and the other two.
If it were normally, Mary would definitely scold Sheldon for not eating properly. However, on this special holiday, she rarely saw her youngest son so happy, so she didn't say much.
After waving to the four children, she watched them leave.
Then, Mary, who quickly finished dinner, also called Mike and the others to rush to the church event location.
They needed to make time for styling before the church event started.
And on the way to the church, before it even got dark, people in various strange costumes were already wandering the streets.
Here, you could see devils and angels, arm in arm, yet getting along very harmoniously.
Moreover, these strangely dressed people were also very happy to interact with pedestrians on the road.
When Mike and the others passed through the "demons and ghosts" blocking their way and arrived at the church entrance, Mary looked at Georgie, who had followed, and asked, "Georgie, didn't you say you had something to do today?"
"I, I really have something to do, so I'll go first." Georgie gave an awkward smile, then turned and blended into the crowd on the street.
Looking at her eldest son's hurried departing back, Mary shook her head slightly, seemingly guessing something.
And just as Mike and the others entered the Halloween venue prepared in the classroom, accompanied by a "hehehe" strange laugh, a demon with horns on its head appeared from the smoke.
"Welcome to hell—!" The demon had a fierce expression, and its voice sounded sinister and terrifying.
Mary was startled by his performance, then said displeased, "Stop messing around, Mr. Lundy, we're in a hurry."
Yes, the demon blocking the way was Mr. Lundy, who had arrived earlier and had already finished his costume and styling.
He was entrusted today with the important task of guiding guests through the scenes of the Seven Deadly Sins.
"How is it? My Satan costume." Mr. Lundy, who had been recognized, returned to his normal voice.
Mr. Lundy, dressed in black leather, with heavy demon makeup on his face, and carrying a spiked whip, indeed looked very intimidating.
